Across Velika Planina to Kamniška Bistrica

Discovering pastoral heritage in the heart of the Kamnik-Savinja Alps.

The trail across Velika Planina establishes genuine contact with vast flourishing pastures. When you hear cowbells, stop at the top of the scenic plateau (1,666m), look around the Preskar hut and tastehomemade sour milk. Crossing Velika Planina from Strahovica past the Roman Church of St Primus and descending along the mountain pasture Dol to the bottom station of the gondola lift takes six hours; however, you can shorten your descent to the valley by taking the cable car. The final part of the trail along the Koželj path takes us to the mysterious world of the Kamniška Bistrica River, past the Predaselj Gorge and on to the river’s source at the mountain hut Dom v Kamniški Bistrici.
